Storming in Dominaria, Decklist Update.

In the last months I’ve been tinkering with new ideas for my beloved Storm deck, and after some thought, testing and realizing that the meta will shift and our opponents will gain new angle of attack, I came to realize that we need to change some cards in order to keep up with our opponents. Also I want to express my thanks to our great community on discord storm server, they have had a HUGE hand on guiding this deck and honestly I wouldn’t have done it without them, so a big shout out to all of you! So below I present to you, Gifts-Storm version 2!

So what happened?

So as you can see, main deck has stayed exactly the same. This is simply due to the fact that meta has stayed fairly open and there are loads of viable strategies available so I feel there is no need to tune the main board. However in the sideboard you can see some pretty major changes, I’ll cover them below more specifically, but in a nutshell I added: Wipe Away, Abrade and 2 more Pieces Of The Puzzle and took out: Blood Moons, Shatterstorm and Repeal. So why these changes? Well let’s have a look at those cards individually.

Wipe Away is a card that I’ve been looking at for a long time, I finally settled on this card for few reasons:

– Split second can really be a surprise factor sometimes, for example if Affinity goes all in on Inkmoth Nexus, Boom! Or returning Phyrexian Unlife back to hand when they are on 0 life, can’t even respond with Angel’s Grace.

Well I finally came to my senses, 4 Pieces is pretty amazing! Blood Moon hasn’t been performing for me anymore and our local players know that I play(ed) the card so they always see it coming. In regard of that info, I have chosen to drop Blood Moons for now and just run with Pieces to fight those grindy decks and graveyard hate.

I’m fairly sure this question would pop up and to answer it honestly, I like my fetchlands. And obviously that is no argument but like I already said in my Deck-Tech article, they thin the deck and other fact that I forgot is that it can bluff that you could be on let’s say Blue Moon for example. This has actually come up few times. So call me dumb but fetches it is for me!

Sideboarding and how does it change.

Here you have the updated sideboard plan, not too many things change here. There are also few new matchups that have popped up, but those have been updated to the other articles as well. This section will only cover how we sideboard, if you’re interested on more indepth info, check this out.
